What value divided by 79 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 79 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 79 × 72 = 5688

To prove this, let's compute 5688 divided by 79: 5688 79 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 79 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 79 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 79: 79 x 79 = 79 × 72
  2. 79 x 79 is equivalent to 79 79 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 79 × 72 = 5688

So, if the divisor is 79 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5688.
